So I'm going to Maine in a couple days for my sister's wedding.
Sorta afraid of it going horribly wrong... you know, divorced parents who hate each other forced to be together and all of that
Also don't want to leave my cat
Haven't been on a plane since 2007
Going to be 10 degrees and all I have is a hoodie

On the plus side... assuming there will be an open bar

I usually leave my cat at the vet they have a "hotel for pets" service for when people travel, and it's not that expensive.

i just bought more cats in order to demonstrate how much money i can miss when i go away on holiday
it is important that the people from the cat hotel and the neighbourhood know this

More progress with the wall cat, today she was meowing for food. I brought her cat food and set it on the ground close to me, and sat there waiting for her move.

She did get braver and came to eat it, at which point I finally was able to touch her and stayed there a little bit petting her.

This is the longest I ever took to befriend a stray cat.

Isn't there something similar there?

my cat would sit for 4 days without eating or pissing or shitting, miserable and scared. she's very sensitive. i was going to get someone to come in just once to check up on her, but i have a problem with letting people into my apartment when i'm not there and i'm not ready to face that yet. i have a problem with others being in there at all, whether I'm there or not, but without me there triggers the fuck out of me.

i got pants online which were comically too big, got two sizes smaller and they are still a size or more too big. this always happens with pants. i know they make sizes big on purpose for big women, to make us feel better or whatever, but when i measure one size and it's 4 sizes off they've gone too far. i'm going to wear them anyway but i wish they were a size smaller

i'm not buying anything new until I 1) alter some items i already have and 2) sell the clothes on ebay i've been meaning to get rid of. i'm sure i could get between 500-800 for everything and i plan to use that to fund new clothes. otherwise it would feel like a waste to spend money i already have on something i don't absolutely need. thing is, i don't really need to buy anything.

I wanted to tell you not to worry because today was 52 degrees (F) and sunny (dunno how that compares to where you are but it's pretty fair for us this time of year) but it looks like this weekend will indeed dip into the teens and single digits at night. :(

Sorry.

Anyone else kinda bummed about the end of daylight savings time? I'm not a vampire, but I definitely prefer it getting dark earlier in the evening. Also, it kinda shaves an hour off of the weekend. :cry:

I like it staying lighter later, so I'm glad for it. Usually I have to work though which sucks, getting up at 4am and losing an hour. But this time I don't have to

As for the weather in Maine, my mom got me gloves and a hat and another sweater and i have jesus on my side He will keep me warm

lol I'm doomed RIP reprise85

I'd take it you're not used to colder climates? It's really not so bad here as long as you dress appropriately.

Then again, I've lived here most of my life. So I probably just don't know any better. I also enjoy colder weather. *dodges rotten fruit*

The colder the better. One of my dreams is to move to alaska. they have legal ganja there and winters of ravenblack darknesses. i visualize myself in my minds eye as taking methamphetamines and writing an epic fantasy poem about frost demons and enchanted elven babes.
